OpenAI has announced that it has conducted small-scale testing of its new Voice Engine technology, a product capable of cloning a human voice from a single 15-second audio sample. The resulting voice can be used to convert text inputs into natural-sounding speech with emotive and realistic characters. However, despite the promising applications of the technology,…
In October 2023, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a partnership with Microsoft to launch an AI-powered chatbot to help entrepreneurs understand government regulations. However, this project quickly took a wrong turn, delivering illegal advice on sensitive issues such as housing and consumer rights. The bot suggested business owners could disregard laws prohibiting discrimination…
Researchers from the Meaning Alignment Institute have proposed a new method for aligning artificial intelligence (AI) systems with human values, termed Moral Graph Elicitation (MGE). The team highlighted the increasing importance of ensuring that AI aligns with people's values as these systems become more embedded in everyday life, and warned against AI systems being blindly…
In a joint effort, researchers from DeepMind and Stanford University have developed an AI agent that fact-checks Large language models (LLMs), enabling the benchmarking of their factuality. These advanced AI models sometimes concoct false facts in their responses, which becomes more likely as the length of the response increases. Prior to this development, there was…
The UK and the US have enacted a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) pertaining to AI safety. The agreement, signed by US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and UK Tech Minister Michelle Donelan, is regarded by the latter as being integral to addressing AI, deemed the "defining technology challenge of our generation." A product of commitments previously…
Google DeepMind's Genie is a unique generative model capable of translating plain images or text prompts into dynamic, interactive worlds. Trained on over 200,000 hours of in-game video footage, Genie captures and generates the physics, aesthetics, and dynamics of multiple environments and objects. The completed model, documented in a research paper, houses over 11 billion…
Over the past year, artificial intelligence (AI) has surged in popularity, leading to the development of AI chatbots possessing the persona of virtual women. Many men have shifted away from traditional dating platforms and towards these AI "girlfriends," with these chatbots providing companionship for a fee. Due to this shift in relationship dynamics, DailyAI has…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to expand into every industry imaginable, accelerating business growth and innovation. The rise of AI, however, has not been totally smooth, with the comprehension of user-AI model interaction and measuring a model's performance posing significant challenges. These "black boxes" can be opaque and complex, hindering both the progress of AI and…
The often tedious task of building user interface (UI) components for applications can take a significant toll on developers, slowing down the overall development process. Various existing tools designed to help with this process are often found lacking in terms of flexibility and ease-of-use for developers. Current solutions include frameworks exuding pre-built components and libraries…
Python is a widely used, general-purpose programming language, popular for its versatility and simplicity, with growing demand attributed to its connection to the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI). Python is also a suitable starting point for individuals aspiring to work in large tech companies.
Several notable Python programming books are recommended for reading in 2024. Amongst…
From a young age, humans showcase an impressive ability to merge their knowledge and skills in novel ways to construct solutions to problems. This principle of compositional reasoning is a critical aspect of human intelligence that allows our brains to create complex representations from simpler parts. Unfortunately, AI systems have struggled to replicate this capability…
Artificial intelligence's progression in recent years has seen an increased focus on the development of multi-agent simulators. This technology aims to create virtual environments where AI agents can interact with their surroundings and each other, providing researchers with a unique opportunity to study social dynamics, collective behavior, and the development of complex systems. However, most…
